How to Make a Simple Gaucho Knot

This unique knot starts with a Turk's head base and adds a second layer to give it a woven look. The name of this knot comes from the Gauchos, essentially cowboys, of Argentina and South America. Traditionally made from leather and used as a bandana clasp or decorative accents on horse tack. Works great for multicolor handle wraps.

Nicely done. Thank you for demonstrating this knot. Others have tried, but you have succeeded better than most.

Production details that I like include good camera position and framing, good lighting and background, clear and concise narration (w/o excessive babble), and — most importantly — background music that doesn't distract the viewer.

The gaucho knot is my favourite variation of the Turk’s head and I’ve tied dozens of them but most of us find it much easier to tie if the mandrel is horizontal as opposed to vertical.

👍🏼Thank you for posting this tutorial. Used this Gaucho Knot (750 paracord) on the handguard of a Rock Island Armory VR80 semi-auto shotgun for heat mitigation. Great knot for my application. Thanks again.
🇺🇲Stay well. Go in peace.

Thanks for taking the time to produce such a clear tutorial, it's going to take me some time to get the hang of the over and unders.

What is the name of the paracord "needle tool" and where can we get it?

[JohnASmith-ltee]

Dude i really really like your videos but you seriously need to slow down with the weaving over under

[bryantreacher]

I have been able to make this now thanking you for showing me how to, but there is one thing that you are doing wrong and that is the way that you finish off your ends should both come out through the middle of the Turks head one on one side the other on the other side, ok.

I actually think hes not really good at explaining at all, I prefer to mute his videos to see war¿t hes doing cause his explanations are incomplete
